Poll question: Who will be our strongest nominee vs. McCain--Obama or Clinton?

[Bonobo]

1. Obama. And it's closer to a fact than an opinion. Lots of data to back it up, I think.

No, I don't have the links and I don't think Clinton fans even want to ask me for them, because I suspect it would soon become a deluge of statistics that overwhelmingly show that he is a better matchup.

3. Would this be the same data that tried to hand California to Obama?

[Barack_America]

4. Agree. McCain vs. Clinton means that:

1. Independent voters will trend largely towards McCain
2. Republicans will have something to vote for, or rather against in Hillary

1 + 2 = 3rd consecutive Republican presidential term.

6. oh please -- give us the *deluge of stats*

We'll wait. :rofl:

[Bonobo]

9. Better yet, I'll grab them and I'll start a thread on them. Please look for it.

13. Shall I give you the link to the thread I started. The deluge is coming.

2. They would both beat The Fossil. But Hillary would make it a closer contest.

5. Hillary could not win one red state

Obama puts some in play, even MS. Hillary would lose ME, PA, NH, WI and maybe NM.

7. Do You Have Any Empirical Information To Support Your Assertion Or Did You Make It Up On The Fly?

8. The entire Clinton career as well as their slavish devotion to a losing 50+1 Strategy

no one has to make that up.

11. true, and I'm not saying that HRC couldn't win, but Clinton also had help in both cases by

Ross Perot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Have To Go To Lunch But If Perot Helped Bush Pere And Dole It Was Marginal

I can't find the citation in such a short time..

[Red Zelda]

15. So, it is Bill that's running

[Red Zelda]

16. Do you capitalize everything?

Yeah, I guess Hillary would win every state. Whatsamatter with me anyway? Everybody loves Hillary. She has so much experience, like her last win in her home state of NY against ... oh, damn, I forgot.

[Kokonoe]

14. This poll should be limited to anyone over 62

and Dole supporters to get a grip on how important voters feel.

17. Obama. All the polls show it (even ones with him losing to hilllary) and rush limbuagh i hear

is resorting to holding a fundraiser so that republicans can win in nov.

plus, republicans according to an analyst on nbc, may consider running a conservative party candidate if obama is the nominee (not if hillary is).

there's really no question obama would be a better choice imo.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Either one can beat McAnus - but I think Obama will be a surer thing

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Obama. I think he's the better candidate. Better speaker, and he doesn't come into it

with half the country already hating his guts.

Either one can win- I just think Hillary will have a tougher time of it.

[BringBigDogBack]

20. Obama.

No question.
